Wow, one year… one whole year I have been writing this blog! As I sit here typing, I am swaying in my chair and singing the lyrics to the 1990′s jam, “It’s Our Anniversary” by Tony! Toni! Toné!
However, I am replacing the word anniversary with blogoversary, because I am cool like that! It’s a damn good thing no one can see or hear me because I way waaay off key and the song in this context makes absolutely no sense!
For my blogoversary, I made The Pioneer Woman’s Italian Cream Cake, and let me tell you – this cake is fabulous!
If you follow me on twitter, you may remember my tweet about having a spoonful of this frosting for breakfast yesterday morning. I did omit the walnuts because Brian is allergic. Instead, I topping the cake with toasted coconut, and it is FAB!
For my blogoversary I wanted to put together a giveaway that would be comprised of some of my favorite things.

Hiya there!
Here are two of my short term goals:
1. Get in shape by going to the gym more often and eating better. I've been eating out too much and cooking good and healthy home-cooked meals might help. (I'm not over-weight but I could if I keep this life style)
2. Try new recipes… I cook/bake the same stuff too often. I started following you here and on twitter to help me achieve this goal.
So…. pick me!!! :D
Gosh, only a year already? You are such a great blogger and have a wonderful blog! I really enjoy your posts and photos.
My goals for next year are many. But I would love to really commit to truly healthier eating. I'm really trying, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
Keep up the great work!
that cake looks delicious. it is getting starred. my goal is to make more of the recipes that I have starred :)
What a great giveaway! I love your site! One of my goals for this year is to save enough cash for a new car so that when I need one I will already have that money set aside.
Happy Blogoversary!
I think in the next year I want to be able to create my own cupcake recipes instead of just relying on other people's recipes.
HAPPY BLOGOVERSARY!
One of my goals for baking in the next year is to learn how to make the perfect baguette.

I am an ok baker. I would love to make it so that I am better than just ok. One of the things I'm going to try to perfect is the baking of cutout cookies. Of late I have had no patience but I really want to do it. I have some cute cookie cutters.
I'd also like to bring in some more healthful food into mine and my husbands eating.
Love your site!. My goal for the next year is to up my culinary skills and hopefully attend culinary school. It has been a forever dream.
Happy blogversary! My goal for the next year, is more cooking with pictures and new recipes.
My goal is to learn a balance between baking and cooking yummy things while exercising and eating moderatley at the same time!
